Product Description: While
pregnant, Stacy Quarty longed to have someone she could comfortably
ask embarrassing questions about what was happening to her body. But
she found pregnancy books either too clinical or too lightweight and
never candid enough. So Stacy took matters into her own hands and
launched www.franklypregnant.com to connect with like-minded women.
In this book, Stacy frankly discusses the symptoms of the week
(morning sickness, hemorrhoids, enormous breasts), shares
experiences of friends, and offers entertaining anecdotes. The book
also contains a revealing QA section of embarrassing and unusual
questions from real women.With warmth, humor, and no shame, Stacy
Quarty and Dr. Miriam Greene take the myth and mystery out of
pregnancy and tell it like it is!

Product Description: As any
pregnant woman knows, there are an overwhelming number of books on
the pregnancy resource shelves, and choosing the right one can be
trying. Two forces are at work: one conventional, one alternative.
Which road to take? Evans has found a solution to the problem by
offering a volume that nicely combines both approaches. The author,
founder and director of an integrative holistic health center in
Fairfield County, Conn., has written a thorough, supportive and
comforting pregnancy book that covers preconceptions about health,
mind-body medicine and fertility options; the emotional and physical
impacts of pregnancy; nutritional needs, exercise, prenatal testing;
medical complications, labor and birth (including vaginal births and
cesareans); and postpartum. Appendixes suggest books for further
reading and music for relaxation and meditation, list Web sites that
sell nutritional supplements and botanical medications, explain
terms like acupressure and vinyasa, give yoga poses for pregnant
women and present readers with the opportunity to record their
"food, beverage, physical activity and symptoms" during pregnancy.

Product Description: Almost
half of all pregnant women are overweight in the U.S. today, but
there are few places they can turn for reliable information and
helpful advice on the special set of challenges they'll face during
the nine-month adventure that lies ahead. In Big, Beautiful and
Pregnant, Cornelia van der Ziel, a highly sought-after
obstetrician who specializes in plus-size pregnancies, and
Jacqueline Tourville, a plus-size mom who's lived the experience,
offer a warm, witty, medically-sound guide for overweight women who
want the skinny on what to expect from pregnancy and childbirth.
They answer all the questions pregnant moms may have, including: Is
my pregnancy doomed to be difficult because I'm overweight? How can
I find a sympathetic doctor? Am I destined for a c-section because
of my extra pounds? Are there special medical risks to my unborn
child? Where can I find maternity clothes in extra-large sizes?
